Does anyone here have any experience with the SWT wheels that you can get at any dealer, or have anything to say about them, good or bad? Personnally, i don't think the gunmetal/gray, 16's i believe, look half bad, and especially since i was quoted 650 for the whole set, tires and all.

I dont know the weight but I know they arn't as light as something like the cheap/strong rota slipstreams. You could get 16x7 for about $500 if you shop around and they weight 13.5lbs each compared to the SWTs that probably weight around 20
My heart isn't set on anything yet, i just haven't shopped around any, but i thought "quality" wheels, i.e. some of the more popular namebrand stuff were much more expensive than that.

Problem is similar for the cargo mat, tho. For someone else (who already has a Forenza) it might make sense over the dealer, but I could roll these into my financing and the cost difference is offset for shipping...
That is, unless sneaky dealer tries to charge me for the shipping.
What is considered decent weight ranges when it comes to wheels? On the tire rack website it says 20 lbs is a lightweight wheel, but i am thinking otherwise, because they also have down to 14 lbs wheels for the forenza on there. that is a 12 lb difference on the driving wheels, and a 24 lb difference in overall weight.
I just checked the rota wheels, and they have some good looking wheels, and very good prices. I really like the grid ones myself.

For 16x7 I stay under 16lbs each..still plenty of options. In 16x7 they get as light as 11lbs. I wont go over 16lbs...even all the 17x8.5s im looking at are in the 15lbs range.
